The Distraction Economy

 





Jennifer: The World Cup is just a rich people's party that poor people celebrate lol. 
  It’s 22 millionaires on the field making even more money. 
  What do the people watching get out of it? 
  NOTHING!

William: A lot of them actually started out poor and made it big. 
  Good for them. 
  They were lucky to be born with that kind of athletic talent and to get a shot at it. 
  Plus, they deserve credit for grinding through grueling physical workouts almost every single day.

  Besides, the future of the economy is all about entertainment and leisure. 
  All kinds of gaming, traveling, and going out, that’s what’s going to move the big bucks. 
  A robot isn't going to feel the thrill of playing or watching soccer for you.

  Just look at what actually drives the internet. 
  It’s interactions. 
  It’s our distraction. 
  Seeing and being seen, or reading and being read.    
  The economy is going to revolve more and more around our search for pleasure and distraction... obviously, excesses should be avoided... but there will always be people addicted to something... even jumping off huge heights attached to a bungee cord...




  “A 21-year-old woman, Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, died after being launched without a safety rope during a rope jump from a height of about 130 feet (40 meters). 
  The accident occurred on June 13, 2026, at the structure known as 'Ponte do Esqueleto' (Skeleton Bridge), located between Limeira and Cordeirópolis, in upstate São Paulo.”
